Thanks man.... the cartridges are like 1500 bucks so that's not in the plan right now lol

I'll be doing rebound and compression valves and the right springs. Add that to a gearing change, a damper setup, and the rear shock and this thing is going to be a whole different bike...

I rode my buddy's bike that is all set up and the confidence it gave me in certain sections of the track we were at compared to some stuff my bike was doing in those sections sold me on the need for this stuff right then and there.

Holy shit, Chris.... after reading this thread I can't immagine why you waste your time here. Seems like a bunch of dopes telling you how you can & can't spend your money that have never even seen you ride.


Three things that are never a waste of money: Tires, suspension and track time/schools.

fixed

Seriously though, to be fair (to me) I'm not on this forum all that much at all so I don't really know all you guys... can you blame me for not seeing the humor in it?

For anyone that isn't familiar w/ this community, it looked like you guys were kinda all being an assholes to him. Not that I could blame you guys if you WERE being assholes to him, I mean shit, he kinda deserves it.... This is how the guy basically introduced himself to me.



That's me right behind him... he asked me for some 1-on-1 not 5 minutes before that.



(I'm gettin some pretty good mileage outta that pic, eh, Chris? )


Now to be fair to HIM.... Chris was one of those kids that got on the track with hardly any riding experience at all & things just "clicked" for him. There's a lot of natural talent in that kid.

Oh I know Chris is an asshole, he didn't fool me

You guys just fooled me into thinking you all were BIGGER assholes (which isn't saying much when you're talkin about Chris ) by running a joke so far into the ground that it came back with some authentic Chinese food.
